ALP UHS Series Low and Medium Power Horizontally Polarized Antenna For UHF Television Applications

Characteristics Product Line: ALP Product Series: UHS Series Frequency Range: 470 - 862 MHz Multiplexed Versions Available: Yes Broadband Applications: No Polarization: Horizontal Maximum Power Rating: 28 kW

The ERI ALP Series II antennas deliver the versatility, power, and reliability that are the keys to success in today’s competitive broadcast marketplace. For full-power stations transitioning to DTV, ALP antennas offer field-proven solutions. Broadcasters with medium power requirements can benefit from this antenna’s lightweight, low windloads, and easy installation which provide reductions in installation time and costs.

For Low Power Television (LPTV) stations the new, higher power handling capabilities of the ALP UHF antennas make them the ideal choice for the higher ERPs now allowed for LPTV stations and translator facilities. The ALP antennas offer the quality and performance needed to improve coverage and maintain competitiveness in today’s broadcast marketplace.
